Mr. Bruce Lance Jr. and Rigo Fernandez came into the meeting at this time on
behalf of the Seven Day Adventist Church on Rose rive. Mr. Lance stated that
the property had been served water for many years and he felt that was reason
enough to continue said service. The church frontage on Golden is 157 feet and
the adjoining property is 132 feet for a total cost of approximately $9000.00.
Discussion. The installation of the curb and gutter has severed the service to
the Harold Van Patten property and the building of the church changes the use
of the property so a main across the front one Golden with the necessary appurt-
enances are a requirement of the District Rules and Regulations. Attorney
Kidman indicated that Mr. Van Patten should be made aware of the problem and
given a limit on the time his temporary domestic service can be used. Mr.
Lance and Mr. Fernandez left the meeting.
